The formation of waveguides in the bulk of sintered nanoporous glass pre-impregnated in a bismuth nitrate solution was demonstrated. The influence of laser irradiation regimes on the refractive index change and luminescence intensity in fs laser beam-written tracks was studied. It was shown that the relative luminescence intensity of the formed waveguides depends significantly on the impregnating bismuth nitrate solution concentration. The waveguides exhibit broadband (FWHM ~150 nm) luminescence in the near infrared region (1200…1500 nm) when pumped at a wavelength of 808 nm. This indicates potential for using the formed waveguides as the active medium of waveguide laser amplifiers.
